a friend of mine is interested in minecraft again, he pointed me to the modpack project ozone, had some issues installing it, turns out that minecraft (or the mods) needs java 8 nowadays, got it working, found out that i still had the binaries of https://github.com/benjojo/mcod somewhere, set it up, and yay it works

if you ever play minecraft with friends and your server is 80% of the time idle, i highly recommend it
